Protein
Purina provides many grain free wet and dry dog food formulas featuring premium meat as the first ingredient, helping your pup satisfy its natural desire for quality nutrition. Purina offers customized diets tailored for weight management, sensitive systems and larger breeds as well as high protein options.
Grain-free dog foods typically provide more balanced levels of carbohydrates, proteins and fats than their grain-based counterparts due to omitting nutritionally empty grains like wheat, corn and rice while using high quality ingredients for more complete and balanced meals.
Purina ONE’s Grain-Free food features real turkey and venison as the top two ingredients, plus other high-quality protein sources and no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. Furthermore, every high-quality ingredient serves a purpose – helping keep your pet lean and healthy!
Fat
These foods offer higher proportions of easily-digestible carbs like sweet potatoes and brown rice to reduce symptoms of digestive upset such as bloat or irregular bowel movements, helping your pet have better digestive health.
Chicken meal provides a moderate source of protein. Next come soybean meal and pea protein; both plant-based products that increase overall protein consumption on labels. Finally there’s canola meal and dried yeast to round off this delicious recipe!
This food boasts an above-average protein and fat level for dogs, while being below average when it comes to fat content. With an adequate calorie count to support ideal body condition in your pup, feeding amounts should depend on age, breed size and activity level of your pet – consult your veterinarian about what to feed him/her accordingly! For optimal health in your canine companion fresh water is also key, while diet and veterinary care must come together. It’s made in America using sustainable resources while being 100% recyclable!
Carbohydrates
Carbs provide energy and should be included as part of a balanced diet for dogs and cats, so opting for grain-free products with alternative sources of carbs such as sweet potatoes and peas is best.
Pork meal is an excellent protein source that boasts three times more than fresh pork, yet contains high levels of ash that must be adjusted into recipes for best results. Canola meal offers similar nutritional qualities while having higher ash levels.
Carb-rich ingredients that contribute to this food’s carbs include cassava root flour and pea starch; both act as bulking agents that add bulk. Taurine helps support heart function while vitamin A supplements are included as well as other vitamins and minerals like chelated iron, zinc, calcium copper potassium found in it; unfortunately these nutrients may not come from organic sources.
Vitamins & Minerals
Purina is a pet care brand known for creating quality food products for dogs, cats, birds and rabbits. Their lower-priced Dog Chow brand can be found at most grocery stores and pet specialty shops while premium offerings like Pro Plan and ONE Beyond products can be purchased online, vet clinics or high end stores.
The company is widely known for their research in pet nutrition and offers tailored formulas tailored to different life stages, diet needs and health concerns of animals. Their SmartBlend recipes provide digestive support, joint health benefits and food sensitivities relief – while some also contain omega fatty acids as well as folic acid or calcium carbonate for an additional nutritional boost.
However, some ingredients used in some products are of questionable quality, including an increased use of splitting to move lower quality ingredients up in the list while more desirable proteins fall lower down the recipe list. Although this may not affect every dog in equal fashion, it should still be taken into consideration when choosing pet food brands.
